BETTER Aging Trial Summary

This trial tests the long-term benefits of a computer-based training program. It is Non-Significant Risk and involves 10 weeks of initial training plus a booster.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 70 or older who speak English fluently, can see and hear well enough to use a computer, and can control a mouse. They must not have dementia as shown by the MoCA test. Those with severe visual/hearing deficits, recent cognitive training, suicidal thoughts, certain medical conditions or implants that interfere with MRI cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a web-based brain training program (PACR-CT) on elders to see if it helps their cognition five years after initial training and examines the effects of an additional 10 weeks of booster training. The software poses no significant risk.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves non-invasive computerized cognitive exercises designed for elderly individuals, there are minimal expected side effects; however, some participants may experience eye strain or mild frustration.
